Guys;Well, got a call from our friend back home in Mn. that our building project come to a halt yesterday! (We had to come to Ca to help the wife's sister, who is sick.) The crew spent 8 hrs trying to get the drill truck out. Our friend was using our 430JD to pull the truck around while drilling etc, but with 5 days of rain, and 80ft of clay, you get 4" taller by walking 20ft!! Had to call a wrecker from town to winch it out!They used the dozer for a deadman. (We just bought a 706MM4x4 last week, but it's still waiting till we get home to pick it up) I would have loved to use that to pull out that truck! I'll try to post pics if I can. Thanks Bob

Are your poles set in plastic post protectors. Looks like a color change down towards the bottom?? If so what do you think of them?? Also looks like there is a splice from treated to non-treated. What is the width of your building??? Thanks ... andy

Hello Guys; The bulding is 40ft wide. The lower part of the poles is treated. There is a hole drilled though the post at 8" from the bottom. Then a 16" long rebar is put in the hole. The poles are 8ft down, with a concrete pad 10" thick. Then 2 bags of mud are put at the bottom. Then there is 1" styrfoam on all four sides of the post. I will lay 2" pink all around the shed,and back fill on top. Also,4x8 sheets across the doorways. We have deep frost and 40 to 60 below temps, so you get to spend a LOT of cash, were no one sees it!! There are sheds all over with 1 or 2 or6 poles coming up. Frost does NOT push from the bottom of a post,,,,it grabs around and lifts...then dirt falls in at thaw time and shed stays up.Bobmn and the straw or chips sounds good

For a temp. fix , How about putting down some straw?
I have used wood chips to dry a construction site too. Good luck. Jim
